We spend on average six to nine hours out of every
twenty-four in bed. For most of us, this is the longest time in a day that we
are in one place, so the location and design of the bedroom and the positioning
of the bed provide a superb opportunity to align yourself with the natural flow
of energy in a way that helps you in other areas of your life.
A good night's sleep is essential for health, so it is also important to have a
bedroom decor that calms you at the end of a busy day, and helps you to sleep well. It
should also be a place where you wake up feeling refreshed, full of vitality and
enthusiasm to make the most of a new day.
The bedroom decor as well as bedroom closet and
bedroom lighting
have a significant influence on adult relationships, being where physical intimacy take place. If you live in a large family, your
bedroom is often the only place that is exclusively yours, and privacy is also
an important consideration. If possible, it is better not to use your bedroom
for activities that require a different atmosphere, such as work. In the end,
both will suffer. In master bedroom you should try to maintain an energy of
romance and contentment. Bedroom wall decor should fulfill requirements of
promoting relaxation, restful sleep, and the quiet privacy necessary to foster
intimate relationship. Bedroom should also contain lively, uplifting, and
cheerful elements to make it a pleasant place in which to wake up and begin the
day.
Wall color is one of the bedroom decor basics.
Bedroom wall color assists in evoking a variety of moods.
Visualize bedroom with certain color schemes and sense the mood of each -
romantic, soft, sweet, soothing, striking. You can look at colors in a more
daring way and combine them to create harmony that suits your spirit. Pinks,
white and gray colors are favorable for bedroom walls, they look wonderful when
accented with touches of red, silver and gold. more red increases the romantic
ambiance, while off-white or cream creates peace and tranquility. Irregular
patterns on the wall produced by fox-finishing (sponging and color-washing) are calming. It
makes this type of wall finish perfect for those who have trouble sleeping.
If you are starting from scratch in the decoration of your home, the first piece of furniture you buy is usually the bed.
More than tables, chairs, or a sofa, you need a bed.
The bedroom is any space where you choose to have a bed. Turn your bed into your personal haven. Beds are a sacred place
because this is the one spot where we come for regular rest, relaxation, and recovery.
What style beds do you like? What would be ideal in your bedroom? How do you feel about the bed you have
now in your bedroom?
If you don't have a lot of money to spend on a bed, the least expensive way to approach this important purchase
is to buy a metal Harvard frame on casters. Its only function is to hold a mattress and box spring.
This way you can take your time finding a bed you're attracted to, or you can buy a decorative headboard and screw it into the Harvard frame.
An inexpensive dust ruffle or flounce will hide the frame
The Mattress. When purchasing your bed, always keep in mind that a good mattress
is more important than a headboard. It may make sense to delay purchasing a
headboard until you have acquired more practical pieces of furniture for your
home. Because regular sleep is so important to our overall health, and we all
have different bedtime comfort specifications, it pays to invest time and money
to have a good mattress. If you suffer from back pain, arthritis, or
sleeplessness, your mattress should be therapeutic. Though mattresses are hidden
under layers of bedding, their impact is immeasurable.
Headboards. An attractive headboard can
add considerable charm to a bed-room. A sturdy headboard is important if you
like to read in bed. While doctors don't recommend sitting up in bed for
patients who have bad backs, with a firm mattress, back support from a
headboard, and your feet elevated, you can enjoy hours of pleasure and comfort
each day reading, writing letters, or making phone calls in bed.
Often French square pillows are placed flat against the
headboard with several smaller pillows in front of them, highlighting the pillow
cases and shams rather than the headboard. If you invest in a wood, iron, or
upholstered headboard and want it to be a focal point in your bedroom, be sure
it is tall enough so that it won't be hidden from view by pillows. The thick
mattresses common today make the surface of the bed so high that the headboard's
traditional height of forty-five inches is now too low. Pillows provide physical
and emotional comfort, and are perfect for indulgence. Just as a silk scarf adds
a touch of elegance to an otherwise plain suit, pretty pillows speak of your
sensual vulnerability. On the two Chesterfield sofas in a client's sun room are
two pairs of raspberry-pink, highly glazed pillows with a white pin-dot design
and a sassy one-inch ruffle. When peonies are in season, this room is all aglow,
allowing the eye to look out the windows to the flower beds beyond.
Custom-made upholstered headboards are especially expensive because of the
materials and labor, so it would be a waste of money simply to have it as a
backdrop for layers of pillows. If there is a shape to the headboard in the form
of an arch so that there is a peak in the middle, the center portion will be
fully exposed. If you choose an upholstered headboard, be aware that oil from hair can discolor the cotton or sill fabric, so you may want
to have one French square back pillow to protect the fabric when you're reading
in bed. To be safe, select a style of headboard that can be slip covered.
Wall decor in the bedroom plays a very important role. While
working on your bedroom's wall decor you should remember that you are creating a
background for your furniture as well as all the action that is happening in
master bedroom.
A person's bedroom is one of the most important rooms in the house and should be
treated as one. The Master bedroom is a world onto itself, a private haven, a
sanctuary from the hustle of everyday life. In ordered to fully enjoy the
bedroom you should embellish the walls using decorative
architectural products,
wall art,
mirrors and wall
lighting fixtures. If you ever plan on selling your house
the wall decor elements in your bedroom as well as a well organized bedroom closet will bring
you way above the competition. Because smart buyers understand, that furniture
will go but the walls are there to stay. A wire range of
architectural details is available for you to use to create
a signature
wall decor in your bedroom. There are
a lot of styles and types of molding for wall decor available

baseboard,
crown molding,
panel molding with corners, est.), and you can
truly express yourself creating something beautiful on your walls to showcase
your sophisticated taste. Bedrooms should be infused with your spirit and energy
more than any other room. At the end, all of your effort will pay of as you will
